At Bell & Bain, we're one of the UK's biggest independent bookbinders, as well as one of the oldest. With household name universities and libraries among our clients, we combine approaching two centuries worth of tradition, history and knowledge with the latest bookbinding techniques and expertise at our Glasgow base.
They're generally more durable, and often looking better than their paperback counterparts, so it's no wonder we all love hardback books. Nearly all academic works, for example, are published this way. At Bell & Bain, we're hardback printers who combine a long history and solid reputation with modern technology for a wide range of clients.
For many who are producing a book, paperback volumes are the ideal option given their reduced weight and cost compared to hardcover versions. After all, paperbacks are the most common type of book, especially for works which are intended to be portable and are not reference books that stay on the shelf.
The finest journal content can be diminished if the magazine isn't also produced and finished to the highest standards. At Bell & Bain, we're the journal printer of choice for a range of clients including some prestigious University and Institution Press. We are proud to produce a range of varied titles every year in excess of 760 titles.

Outstanding quality printing company! This is an established and recognised firm that offers its customers large or small the very best in dedicated service. I have no hesitation in giving Bell & Bain Ltd my full support, and thank them for their work in printing my book 'SOE CD1 - The Life and Times of Sir Frank Nelson'.
